Connected to Irish communities
We recognise the vital role agriculture plays in shaping a sustainable and prosperous future for Northern Ireland and as a driving force behind the region’s economy.

Bringing together farmers, producers, industry leaders and families, the four-day event celebrates innovation in the agricultural sector and shows how technology is transforming farming and food production.
